We need a scanned copy of your passport and participation confirmation.

We send you the official invitation letter to apply for your Russian visa.

You contact your local Russian consulate or embassy for visa arrangement.

Important Points to Note:

Validity of the passport must be no less than 6 months from the date of entrance to Russia (1,5 years if you intend to stay at the university campus or for a long term stay).

Invitations are usually sent via email or fax. Russian embassies or consulates in some countries may ask for the original of the invitation. If so, we will send you the invitation letter via DHL express mail, since the Russian postal service is slow and not reliable. Cost of express-mail delivery depends on your country of residence. Please contact the Russian embassy or Russian consulate in advance to obtain the list of required documents.

If you already have a visa (Russian multi-entry visa or Russian business visa or a Russian Tourist visa), we will help you with the registration. Please bring with you a copy of the invitation letter or the coordinates of the inviting company.

You can also ask a consular service company to arrange the visa for you if you do not have the time to do it yourself. We offer this service for Swiss residents.

My Russian course and Tuition was excellent, my tutor was very patient and helpful and I improved a lot over 3 weeks. Everything was well organised and the manager was always contactable by phone to help with any questions or issues. I would recommend Ziegler & Partner to everyone.James Smithdale, England
